Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

How to Make Creamy Chicken and Biscuit Casserole

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables, chicken broth, heavy cream, black pepper, salt, thyme, and paprika. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
  6. Transfer the creamy chicken mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Scatter the biscuit pieces over the cheesy chicken mixture, covering it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your cozy casserole!

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in your favorite spices or herbs before cooking.
  • Use fresh vegetables if you prefer; just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure to check the biscuits for doneness as oven temperatures can vary.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the chicken for shredded rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Add a splash of hot sauce or your favorite spices for a kick.
  • Incorporate different vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
  • Use a different cheese, like mozzarella or pepper jack, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

  • A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
  • Steamed broccoli or green beans for a healthy side.
  • Garlic bread for dipping into the creamy sauce.
  • Mashed potatoes for an extra comfort food experience.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place in the microwave or oven until heated through. If the biscuits start to get too hard, cover the casserole with foil while reheating.
